I’m a better baker than I am a cook. I just don’t have a good idea of which spices to use and when compared to my husband. My husband is an awesome cook. We joke and say that we are all set because we can host dinner parties and he’ll cook the meal and I’ll bake the desserts.

I’m a better baker. After 2 years of school, I had better be! Although I would say that even before school I was a better baker than cook. My husband is a better cook than I am, but I am faster and use fewer dishes, so I generally do the cooking. No matter who cooks I end up cleaning up, so I’d rather do fewer dishes!

I’m a good cook, but a better baker. I use to love creating and improving desserts and making them look and taste more appealing.@Seaofclouds brownies now, Fluther later…get those brownies in the mail:D

I’m a better cook, though I can bake pretty much whatever. It’ll turn out better than OK, but nowhere near something I could pick up at Bouley Bakery (which closed recently! :() Once I master crusts, though…

@AmWiser Lol. I still haven’t baked them, but I can’t mail them until tomorrow anyway since the post office is closed for the holiday. So I’m going to wait until this evening so they are a bit fresher when they get there.

Personally I consider baking very much a part of cooking, and I don’t agree that baking needs to be so precise. I frequently make bread for instance and haven’t used a recipe in many years. If you use less yeast or your yeast is old, guess what? You can just let it rise longer.

I definitely prefer cooking over baking. I like savory foods better than sweet ones, and I am less likely to make a mistake when cooking rather than baking. With cooking, you can just turn your “mistake” into a completely different recipe. Sometimes I’ve accidentally discovered wonderful new tastes.

I am a way better cook. Cause I don’t put too much time into baking. Plus when I cook it’s usually freeflow, without measurements. Baking requires EXACT measurements. Baking is way to regimented for my taste.

I’m a better cook, mainly because neither I nor anyone else in my family likes cakes that much, so I’ve never had the motivation to make them. I don’t do desserts at all. And in all things, I like to improvise. I don’t follow recipes.
